Short: Train Driver V1.3 Improved gfx & font Type: game/misc Uploader: paul@robins.powernet.co.uk Author: P.Robins Requires: Any Amiga (WB2.0+) with at least 1 mb Relaces: games/misc/TrainDvr12.lha Version: 1.3 Train Driver Simulator V1.3 --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since V1.2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ o Now uses own TD font instead of ugly ROM topaz o Script included to set up assigns o Graphics perspective greatly improved o Code optimised, 10% faster frame rate o Map of route now included o All bridges now included (except MP354-372) o More fine tuning of data and graphics o Guide and help pics updated o Pause (key 0) now puts program to sleep o More bugs fixed I know V1.2 is still fairly recent but I thought the above improvements justified a prompt release. The script needs requestfile. If you haven't got it you'll have to set up the assigns manually or add them to your user-startup. C:Assign TrainDriver: DRIVE:path/TrainDriver <--change to your path on HD AND C:Assign FONTS: Traindriver:fonts ADD OR c:Copy Traindriver:fonts ALL FONTS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This program should work on most Amigas (WB2+) now with or without AGA, after being bombarded by email requests! Please note that a basic A500/600 will only run at about one frame/sec, without an accelerator or extra Ram. A lot of people have wrote to me to say they can't get the program to run and that the program complains "Illegal Sound file" This means the program is looking for the sound files in Traindriver: and can't find them there. Solution: Hard Drive: Assign Traindriver: DH0:games/td or whichever drawer all the files are in. Floppy drive: Rename the floppy to Traindriver and make sure all the files are in the root drawer ie not in another drawer on the disk. The only other drawers in the disk/drawer should be Save and Fonts. I hope this clears these problems up Also note the td.font and td drawer must be in FONTS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a *beta* version of a Train Driver Simulator, simulating Class 87 locos working on the West Coast Main Line from Euston to Glasgow. Don't pay more than the price of a disk + P&P for this program. At least read Quick Start in TrainDriver.guide or you'll get nowhere! Features: 9 Difficulty levels Moving graphics Sound effects Unlimited choice of journeys Realistic train handling 401 miles of route of varying gradients Random weather conditions Various startup options Day or night trains Save journeys at any time Log made of journey with average speeds etc. Random Temporary Speed Restrictions Time speed up (up to x5) Detail On/Off option for slower Amigas and many more options to experiment with.

Please drop me an email or postcard if you use it ------------------------------------------------- I'd be intersted to know where you got the program from, and which Amiga you have.
